This is his Country or State Flag

Bob Ameigh and Ann live in Arizona, USA. He was 60 when he was diagnosed in February, 2012. His initial PSA was 6.80 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 8, and he was staged M1a. His initial treatment choice was Surgery (Retropubic Prostatectomy + RT + ADT) and his current treatment choice is None. Here is his story.

THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2011 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

I was talked into doing surgery. After surgery my scores had risen from 4.8 to 6.8. My urologist sent me to an oncologist who wanted to radiate my lower half of pelvis with radiation then Lupron shots for 2 yrs. Without knowing where the cancer was or any other tests just guess.

I fired both doctors went to Cancer Centers of America. They did tests found that I had fallen a year before and cracked my hip at top of hip bone. The cancer got into the bone from prostate bed to hip bone where it metastisized. My test showed no cancer anywhere else in either tissue or bone except hip. My reading went to .06 for last 8 months with Lupron shots every 90 days. The cost after insurance is two thousand out of pocket from me.

I'm choosing to stop treatment of Lupron since the radiation killed cancer in my hip and having a orcheiectomy surgury to stop my body from producing tetesteron. Since no more Testeron then no use for the Lupron. I will be juicing and have been eating healthy organic foods. I just started Juicing but elimited sugar and dairy products as much as I can.

I'm looking for other men who have had side effects from Lupron.

NOTE: Bob has not updated his story for more than 15 months, so you may not receive any response from him.
